NAME
Signal::More - Various signal handling functions
VERSION
version 0.001
SYNOPSIS
use Signal::More qw/sigqueue sigwait/;
use Signal::Mask;
$Signal::Mask{USR1}++;
sigqueue($$, 'USR1');
sigwait('USR1');FUNCTIONS
sigqueue($pid, $sig, $value = 0)
Queue a signal $sig to process $pid, optionally with the additional argument $value. On error an exception is thrown. $sig must be either a signal number(14) or a signal name ('ALRM').
sigwait($signals, $timeout = undef)
Wait for a signal in $signals to arrive and return it. The signal handler (if any) will not be called. Unlike signal handlers it is not affected by signal masks, in fact you are expected to mask signals you're waiting for. $signals must either be a POSIX::SigSet object, a signal number or a signal name. If $timeout is specified, it indicates the maximal time the thread is suspended in fractional seconds; if no signal is received it returns an empty list, or in void context an exception. If $timeout is not defined it may wait indefinitely until a signal arrives.
